Sarah Witt, BACP

Sarah Witt is a counsellor who draws on a few different approaches to suit each person she meets. She uses a person-centred way of working as a base to create a warm, non-judgemental space. Sarah holds a BACP accreditation and brings four years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the big life changes that can feel overwhelming. She also supports people dealing with relationship problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy. Additional areas of focus include eating and body image difficulties, caring and caregiver stress, gender dysphoria, and addictions.

In sessions she listens for patterns that might come from earlier life experiences and gently helps people make sense of those links. She may use psychodynamic ideas to look at underlying feelings from childhood. Cognitive behavioural techniques can help spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

Her style is collaborative and grounded. She aims to help people recognise their own strengths and build practical coping strategies. Sarah encourages small steps and clearer self-understanding so people can feel more able to manage day to day.

She welcomes conversations about how therapy could fit into everyday life and how different approaches might help. The work is paced to each person, with an emphasis on respect, curiosity and steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Sarah primarily uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on being listened to without judgement and helps people feel understood so they can make their own changes. This approach is useful for building self-worth and working through sensitive feelings.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT offers practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours, often helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the journey and she will discuss options with each person. Together they decide which methods match the client's goals and preferences, and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy with her is available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make sessions fit everyday life. Video offers face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people access support from different locations and at times that suit them.
